‘Spam Nation’ Wins PROSE Award
Summary: Krebs on Security announced that Brian Krebs's book Spam Nation: The Inside Story of Organized Cybercrime, from Global Epidemic to Your Front Door received a 2015 PROSE Award in the Media & Cultural Studies category from the Association of American Publishers' Professional and Scholarly Publishing Division. The AAP said the 2015 awards drew a record 540 entries from more than 70 publishers worldwide, the most in the program's 39-year history.
Key Takeaway: The book traces organized cybercrime from a global spam epidemic to the reader's front door, and its recognition by peer publishers and librarians puts the spam economy's structure in front of a mainstream professional audience rather than only security teams.
